Novichoks, also known as A-series agents, are nerve agents developed in the Soviet Union during Cold War. Once obscure chemicals, they garnered a great deal of attention after their employment attempted assassinations Sergei and Yulia Skripal 2018 Alexei Navalny 2020. Novichok were not originally featured schedules Chemical Weapons Convention (CWC), which intended to support treaty’s verification regime declaration requirements. However, following incident, CWC amended include agents. Furthermore, precursors for synthesis added Australia Group’s (AG) list chemical-weapons precursors. In this article, we evaluate recent revisions AG list, identify remaining weaknesses both lists, make recommendations further amendments. We recommend strengthening coverage by adding families with guanidine branches. This is particularly important light since that incident appears have involved guanidine-bearing agent currently covered schedules. propose an approach control based on chemicals rather than individually enumerated chemicals.
